Wedding Advice
I want to get some funky, unique wedding invites but don’t know where to start. How do I choose the perfect wedding stationary?
Stationery is an important aspect of every wedding. The invitation is the first impression your guests will receive of your special day. It says a lot about you as a couple and sets the scene for the type of wedding you are going to have.
The first thing to consider when choosing your wedding invite is the impression you want to create. As with flowers, table decorations and other bridesmaid dresses, your stationery can co-ordinated with the colours and designs you are choosing on your wedding day. If, for example, your wedding style is traditional, consider graceful, traditional designs. Alternatively, if your wedding is informal, you might opt for a fun, individual creation.

The Wedding Invite rules!
- Always write invites in the third person
- Do not put the groom's name before the bride's
- Put names, times and places on separate lines
- Put the time and date first and the venue last
- Order 15 more invites than you need. When you make a spelling mistake, you’ll thanks us for this piece of advice!
- The phrase ‘the honour of your presence' is often used for an invitation to a religious ceremony, and ‘the pleasure of your company' for civil ceremonies
- Send invites at least six weeks prior to the wedding, or up to three months beforehand in the busy summer months
- Include a cut-off date for the RSVP and an address to send it to
